CAP'N DUSTY (3) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 4 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1m at this track a month ago. Steps up in journey. Jorge Ruiz sticks. Likely to feature. NEON NIGHTS (2) returns after a lay-off of 12 weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Oaklawn Park when returning from a lay-off last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DEADPAN (1) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Laurel (Dirt) with success as public elect over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a tougher race but another win beckons. CURLY LARRY AND MO (4) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start over 1m1/2f at Laurel (Turf), beaten 5 lengths. Should be peaking. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
